Shakespeare is frequently spoken of as the supreme mind of the race. This may stem to many an extravagant claim. Some will point to Michel An- gelo and give him the palm for great- ness as he occupies a high position in arts, architecture, painting, sculpture and even verse, whereas Shakespeare was supreme in but one, the drama, Shakespeare's exalted posi- tion i» due to the fact that he con- centrated his mind on life. Mankind is the highest study of man, and Shakespeare, more fully than any other thinker in the world's history, has in a practical way investigated Se. 2. four messy | 00d s0lved man's relationship to so- ssesesd ciety and to the universe in which he lives.

Yes, it is certafm; and was most certain to Shakespeare. His work, like ull really great work, is largely inspired by the overwhelming sémse of Diety, "In the light of setting suns, And the round ocean, and the living aw, And the blue sky, and in the mind of man. He could say with Hamlet, "There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow," or with old Adam of "As You Like It" he could speak sympa. thetically of the being that, "pith the ravens feed. Yes, providently caters for the spar- rows." -- : Shakespeare no doubt 'often paused, as did Hamlet, to wonder at the char- acter of the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns, but hever on his page is there any- thing to lead the studént to believe that he doubted the existence of God. and there is much to convince that he held that the universe and society are sustained and regulated by an over- ruling Providence. Shakespeare fre- quently makes his noblest characters appeal to God in their difficulties and doubts, and acknowledge His influ- ence in their successes. Henry V. ia peculiarly Shakespeare's hero, and Henry V. is a sturdy soldier of un. questioning faith. It was 'God who "brought to light the dangerous trea. son" of his nobles.

The late Lord Grim- thorpe (then E.

An dectric signal is automatically sent by Big Ben once a day to Green wich, and with monotonous sameness Sir G. B.

On most days it is almost dead true, and om barely half a dozen days in any year does it vary as much as three seconds from ae curate Greenwich mean time.
